Fake USAA e-mails phishing for card information:

E-mails purportedly sent by the United States Automobile Association (USAA) have been hitting inboxes in the last few days, M86 researchers warn.

In it, the recipients are urged to fill out a "new version of USAA Confirmation Form" by following the offered (shortened) link, which redirects the potential victim to the phishing page.

The fake form requests users to enter their online ID, password, name, e-mail, USAA card number, expiration date, security code and PIN - since the USAA provides a banking and credit card service. [Date: 3 November 2010; Source: http://www.net- security.org/secworld.php?id=10093]
